Stop & Go Playground

These two lots were assigned to the Parks Department
by the Department of General Services Division of Real Property
in 1980 for development as part of the South Bronx Open Space Project.
The southern site, off East 175th Street, was originally cleared
to make way for a new school, adjacent to the existing P.S. 59 on
the east side of the property. When school officials decided not
to build, the two lots were reassigned to Parks for use as a playground
and sitting area in 1997.
